Unmerited Favour shows us how liberating it is to know that “It’s got nothing to do with what I did but it’s all about what You’ve done for me.”
What does unmerited favor mean?
Undeserved!
Many people seem offended by unmerited favour. They think it is unfair. How can you expect God to favour you for no reason? Who are you?
Exactly!
Who am I?
The basis of my confidence is not based on myself or my worthiness. It is based on Jesus’ perfect work on the Cross. He is the fulfilment of the Law.
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Matthew 5:17
He has redeemed me from the curses of disobedience as recounted in Deuteronomy 28:15-68. I am redeemed. I can receive His blessings and favour…unmerited. It does not mean I can now live lawlessly. It means I do not have to fulfil the law in order for God to bless me.

Lyrics for Unmerited Favour
Words & music by Sean Goh ©2010 New Creation Church, Singapore
I am standing under an open heaven
Drenched by endless
Showers of grace
I'm surrounded
By love and tender mercies
As You freely gave so
Freely I've received
Now I've got every reason to rejoice
Your unmerited favour is on my life
It's got nothing to do with what I did
But it's all about
What You've done for me
And because of the cross
It's plain to see
I'm irrevocably saved, now I am free
And I'll rejoice
In everything You've done
In everything You've done
No more striving
'Cos I have been forgiven
Made forever righteous and whole
I'm secure in
This hope that is unwavering
And my future's bright
'Cos Your Word is my light

不配的恩寵的歌词
I recently found the Chinese version. It was translated by 恩寵教會 in Taipei.
中文翻譯 恩寵教會 台北
我正站在敞開的天堂之下 恩典甘霖 澆灌不息 慈愛圍繞 祢憐憫永不止息 祢白白給我白白地領受 我有千萬個理由要歡呼 一生已得到不配的恩寵 不要再定睛自己的行為 完全倚靠祢做成的工作 主祢十架已清楚的表明 我已完全得救已得自由 我歡呼 祢已成就一切 祢已成就一切 不再勞苦 因我已經蒙救贖 永遠稱義 已得醫治 是我確據 這盼望堅定我心 祢話語照亮 我前頭的道路 我有千萬個理由要歡呼 一生已得到不配的恩寵 不要再定睛自己的行為 完全倚靠祢做成的工作 主祢十架已清楚的表明 我已完全得救已得自由 我歡呼 祢已成就一切 祢已成就一切
